The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 39 Winter
Chu Ying put on the autumn clothes over the clothes that Lu Ming gave. Lu Ming's clothes are too blinking in the countryside, so it's not suitable to show them. Otherwise, people would think that Chu Ying stole them from somewhere.

Chu Ying took a stone ax and rode on the ground before it was covered by heavy snow, and then went to the mountains to cut some firewood. In winter, cutting firewood is definitely a temporary hug, waiting to pile up two-thirds of the firewood for the reed house built before, Chu Ying Just put the ax away, and roasted the chilblained hands with the fire.

Chu Ying would rather chop more now than wait for the snow to cover the mountain and she would have no more firewood.During the day, Chu Ying took the quilt and stayed on the sofa she made last time, roasting the stove, drinking pine needle tea picked from the pine tree, which is rich in vitamin C.Long-term use can calm the five internal organs, resist cold and heat, withstand wind and rain, lighten the body and replenish qi, and has a good effect on rheumatism.

Chu Ying didn't know if her knee was rheumatism, anyway, she didn't have money to buy tea, and she felt tasteless drinking plain water. The pine needle tea had a faint fragrance, and there was a pine tree behind, so Chu Ying picked a sack, Put some on the side of the stove to dry for easy storage. If Chu Ying didn't want to drink it, she would go to the back to pick it up. Her body is not as good as before. She used to practice three-nine in winter and summer in summer, and her body is even better.

Her body is afraid of the cold, her hands and feet are cold every night, and she cannot sleep without Mrs. Tang, and her knee has hurt several times since the last time. Chu Ying decocted the medicine twice until Don't stop until the taste is gone, this medicine is very precious, I have to absorb all the nutrients.

Although Chu Ying wanted to sleep in the warm kitchen for a few days, she was still worried that if the firewood was not completely burned, it would be over if she was poisoned by carbon dioxide. If she still felt during the day, she would be in trouble if she fell asleep in the kitchen.

During the day, she would leave some gaps in the kitchen to keep the air circulating. After checking that the marinated pork strips were not moldy, Chu Ying cut some of the previous marinated meat and made claypot rice.The days of having meat and eggs are starting to get better. When spring comes, I will go to Aunt Wang’s house to buy a rooster and a few chicks. It’s easy to taste more chickens in this winter. Chu Ying has had enough of a hen. Drive her out for fear that it will turn into a frozen chicken.

Chu Ying used an ax to chop a large piece of wood into pieces and made it into a simple wooden grid. When the soil melts in spring, it can be used to make earthen bricks. Now there is still ice in the soil to make earthen bricks that are not easy to use. Chu Ying First I made a single wooden lattice, and later made two. I thought it could be added to the side, so I made five vertical rectangular wooden lattices. I just picked it up with both hands, and it was more comfortable, but adding another wooden lattice would be a little bit After struggling, Chu Ying went to the back and cut a few trees of suitable thickness, dragged her to the kitchen and closed the door to continue making wooden lattices.

Chu Ying didn't know how long it would take for the soil to dry, so she first made 5 rows of 5 wooden grids and stacked them together to put them away. Now people are getting lazy, getting up late in the morning after eating and wanting to sleep, Chu Ying reluctantly told herself to move more, so she tried to find something for herself to do.

Chu Ying took the cloth she bought to the kitchen, and made a few more autumn clothes with the previous ones, and they can wear them in spring, but here ordinary people can only wear darker colors such as dark brown and navy blue, and bright colors can only be worn when they are young. Officials can only wear them, and those rich businessmen can't wear colors indiscriminately in theory, but money can make ghosts work, and it is not so strict after getting through the top and bottom.

Chu Ying looked at the monotonous clothes, so she embroidered bamboo on the feet and cuffs of her clothes. Chu Ying only had white thread, so she used white, and the color contrast was quite strong. Very interesting.

This day, Chu Ying pushed open the door, but she couldn't push it anymore. Seeing that there were two ankles covered in snow, Chu Ying tried her best to get out of the door.Looking at the snow-covered world, I felt like I was freezing from toe to head, so I hurried to the kitchen to light a fire to keep warm.When her body got better, Chu Ying picked up the shovel she bought last time and pushed some of the snow off the reed roof. Although thicker pillars and beams were used, Chu Ying was still worried, for fear that the snow would blow her body. The fruits of labor are obliterated.

When the snow on the reed house was almost clear, Chu Ying cleared the kitchen and the bedroom, otherwise she would not be able to get into the kitchen, and next year she would have to see if she could build an earth kang. It was a relatively cold day, but I didn't expect my body to be so weak.

"Chu Ying, you're done. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the house."

"Brother Wang, it's okay, I've done everything." Wang Naiyuan took an old quilt and carried it to Chu Ying's bedroom.

"I don't need this quilt. You are weak. I'm afraid you'll be cold. Anyway, it's at home, so I brought it for you. You can cover it on top of the quilt or put it under it." The cattail velvet is indeed a bit cold.

"Then are you enough? I'm fine. I don't go out very often and just stay at home. It won't be too cold." Chu Ying put her chilblained hands behind her to prevent Wang Naiyuan from seeing them. Worry now.

"What's wrong with your hands? This is the ointment my mother used to treat frostbite. Didn't you have frostbite when you slaughtered a pig last time? When you touch it when your hands are dry, it doesn't hurt so much." Chu Ying looked at it again Wangnai Garden, which exudes the brilliance of angels, has a Wangnai Garden to warm the winter.

"Thank you so much, I don't even know how to thank you."

"Neighbors are welcome. Do you have enough firewood? Add some firewood so you don't freeze. I'll chop some for you."

"No need, Brother Wang. I've seen the firewood in that room. It's enough. It's really troublesome." Chu Ying waited for Wang Naiyuan to leave and cooked a bowl of custard to eat first, and then cooked the rice. Eating an egg, I hope how long my body will make me feel better.

The chilblain ointment that Wang Naiyuan took is still very useful. It is probably made from some kind of animal oil.It was cold and Chu Ying moved even more slowly. She only made half of the tops in one day, but lying on the bed without doing anything, Chu Ying was afraid that she would get sick, so she could only work hard to do something.

Chu Ying sighed against her hands, rubbed her hands together, rubbed the needle on her scalp, and dipped it in some oil.In the next few days, Chu Ying was even more lazy to get up, but she couldn't afford to offend her big stomach, so she stayed in bed until she was too hungry to get up, and went to bed early at night after eating.

Chu Ying finished the last pack of tonics. Looking at the snow that hadn't started to melt, she felt that this winter was extremely long. It wasn't cold when it snowed, but it was cold when it melted. The stone knocked on the rabbit bone to make a hole in it. It was a bit laborious to just use a needle. After the hole was made, Chu Ying sewed the glove up. The finger was exposed, but the cover at the back could be turned over to cover the finger. When you don't need to move your fingers, you can keep your whole hand warm, so you can sew clothes more flexibly.

Originally, I could have visited Aunt Wang’s house or everyone Han, but when the snow fell, everyone hibernated, and they couldn’t go far, so they could only stay at home and talk about fighting and rappelling to the hen. National events speak of survival in the wild.
